McCain: Protesters are 'Low Life Scum'

On Thursday, January 29, CODEPINK protesters spoke out during Senate
Armed Services Committee hearing attempting to perform a citizens’
arrest on Henry Kissinger. Holding handcuffs and large signs that read:
KISSINGER: WAR CRIMINAL and ARREST KISSINGER FOR WAR CRIMES, activists
read aloud a citizens’ arrest [pasted below]. In response, Senator John
McCain (R-AZ), Chairman of the Committee, called the human rights
activists “lowlife scum” and said it was “the most disgraceful and
despicable demonstration he had ever seen.”

I didn't see the paste below of citizens indictment of Kissinger, so here it is:CITIZENS’ ARREST WARRANT:CODEPINK calls for the arrest of Henry Kissinger for War Crimes

Vietnam: From 1969 through 1973, Kissinger, working for Richard Nixon, oversaw the slaughter in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, which led to the deaths of millions of people. Many thousands more died from the affects of massive doses of Agent Orange and from unexploded US bombs that cover the countryside.

Chile: Henry Kissinger was one of the principle architects of the coup in Chile on September 11, 1973, a coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. Sixteen years of repression, torture and death followed under the rule of Kissinger’s friend, the fascist Augusto Pinochet.

East Timor: In 1975, while working for President Gerald Ford, Kissinger pre-approved the Indonesian dictator Suharto’s bloody invasion of the small island of East Timor. This illegal act of aggression was carried out with weapons furnished by the US. By the time the Indonesian occupation finally ended in 1999, 200,000 Timorese – 30 percent of the population – had been wiped out.

This is Kissinger’s legacy. Death. Destruction. Suffering. Misery. Dictatorships. His is a murderer, a liar, a crook, a thug.

Democracies should hold their officials accountable for their acts. That’s why we demand that Kissinger be arrested for crimes against humanity and tried at the Hague.
